"The Balloon Horse Jupiter
Barnum & Bailey 1909

Chic Silber said...: They wanted to put a "Balloon

Horse Jupiter" into the Broadway

production of "Barnum" & leaked

it to the press ("leaked" get it)

but when the costs were added up

It was nixed & used the excuse in

the press that the insurance co

wouldn't cover the risk; 09 August, 2013 00:00
Chic Silber said...: I further recall some details of

the director & designer's ideas

The whole shebang was supposed to

ascend from beneath the stage for

Barnum & Jenny Lind to mount then

fly from the apron to the rear

of the 2nd balcony (uh huh); 09 August, 2013 09:58
klsdad said...: Kinda a reverse
"chandelier"???
klsdad
Broadway veteran...; 09 August, 2013 13:02
Chic Silber said...: Niether IBDB nor Playbill Vault

have any record for klsdad

Perhaps another name would work

Please explain your "reverse"; 10 August, 2013 02:43
